I first tried this punch at my friend Stephanie’s house for a Bunco night. One sip of this drink and I had to know what was in it. Come to find out there are only TWO ingredients!
Perfect for baby or bridal showers as a non-alcoholic option, this simple recipe enhances any gathering without adding complexity to your menu.
Ingredients In This Punch Recipe
White Grape Juice Concentrate: This is the base of the punch, providing a sweet and fruity flavor.
Fresca or Similar Citrus Soda: Adds fizz and a light citrus taste, enhancing the punch’s refreshing quality.
Optional Garnishes (Cara Cara Oranges, Raspberries): These add a pop of color and a hint of fresh, tangy flavor, making the punch more visually appealing and slightly altering the flavor profile.
QUICK TIP
Fresca is a diet grapefruit soda made by the Coca-Cola Company. If you can’t find Fresca, you may be able to locate Squirt®, Izze® or a store brand of diet grapefruit soda.
How To Make Fruit Punch Recipe
Combine thawed white grape juice concentrate with chilled citrus soda in a large pitcher or bowl.
Garnish optionally with sliced Cara cara oranges and/or raspberries.
Serve immediately, offering ice separately to avoid dilution.
FAQs
How Much Punch Do You Need?
If you plan to double, triple (or even quadruple) this punch recipe, consider making just one batch at a time. Simply keep the white grape juice and Fresca (and fruit garnishes, if using) chilled in the fridge and ready to go.
How Do You Calculate Punch For A Party?
Consider the guest count, party duration, and food type. Note punch cup size (usually 4-6 ounces). Estimate 1-2 glasses per guest in the first hour, and 1 glass per hour after. Multiply guests by drinks per hour by ounces per drink for total punch needed.
How Much Punch Do You Need For 100 Guests?
Using the equation above, here are the calculations for 50, 75, or 100 guests (To help in your shopping, one quart is 32 ounces and a gallon is 128 ounces.)
50 guests x 4 drinks x 4 ounces = 800 ounces of punch
75 guests x 4 drinks x 4 ounces =1200 ounces of punch
100 guests x 4 drinks x 4 ounces = 1600 ounces of punch
Punch Bowls And Dispensers?
This drink recipe is about as simple as it gets, but every punch needs a good serving vessel.

Instructions
AHEAD OF TIME: Thaw the grape juice concentrate in the fridge. Chill the Fresca in the fridge. If both are cold you won't need as much (or any) ice which, and that will keep the punch from becoming watered down.
In a large pitcher or punch bowl, combine the thawed white grape juice and Fresca. Stir together.
If desired, add in washed and thinly sliced and halved Cara cara oranges and/or a few washed fresh raspberries.
Punch is best made right before serving so it doesn't go flat. I recommend serving ice on the side or adding as it's served so the punch isn't watered down.

I love easy and elegant drink recipes! Have you heard of coffee punch? I think it’s more common in the South but if you haven’t tried it, you’ve got too. It would make a beautiful blog post, too. It’s basically coffee, milk, sugar, and ICE CREAM. So delish. Perfect for a bridal or baby shower.

Punch is for special occasions. Not intended as an everyday beverage.

There are options; one can always pass. The Punch is NOT mandatory. I love a good recipe.

Can this be served with alcohol in it? What would you recommend?

Hi Chelsea, I have just learned that Welch’s has discontinued their juice concentrates! I haven’t found another brand available — do you have another source? The only option I can think of is apple juice concentrate, but it has a bit more detectable flavor. Thanks for any suggestions.

Do you have access to Old Orchard’s white grape juice or a store-brand?

I replied a few days ago but don’t know if it went through as I haven’t heard back from you. Bottled white grape juice is certainly available here, but I have found no brands of the frozen concentrate. I like to use it also in other recipes (including baking) instead of sugar, but have been substituting apple jc concentrate for the time being, but prefer white grape as it has a more neutral flavor. Hoping white grape becomes available again soon. Do you have any other suggestions?

Hmm I’m so sorry! I haven’t ever tried anything else but the white grape concentrate so I don’t know what would be best in its place. I think you could use bottled white grape juice; just play around with the quantities a bit since it won’t be the same as the concentrated form.
